Your major is the area in which you primarily studied, in which you took most of your classes. Some universities will have minors and will set out the requirements for qualifying for a minor, just as they do for your primary degree. For example, five classes or 15 credits within a curriculum. This means that although you did not take as many classes in that subject as you did your major, you still devoted enough time and effort to qualify for recognition of some degree of expertise in that area.

So... my undergraduate degree was a bachelor's of science in communications with a psychology minor, and my graduate degree is a master's of business administration. Probably some of these should be capitalized, but I'm tired.

Hi, an associate degree offered by a university to graduates of college if they attend night school classes at the university. Its mostly referred to as a collaborative degree between a university and a local college. A minor is pretty much a unit of study on the side, sort of. For example i am majoring in Electrical Engineering, but i am also minoring in French, meaning i am taking accredited courses towards a french degree/diploma.
